An Ocearan Weapons designer has offered a new mine design to the Timmian Military, it is an air-deployed impact-primed proximity mine with a self destruct timer (The last part is to limit the number of mines that get left over after a war is over)

Designed to be dropped from even a couple miles up without being destroyed on impact, it has utility as an attack weapon as well as a defensive weapon as it can be air-dropped behind enemy lines to disrupt their supply lines and troop movements assuming the vehicle carrying the mines can slip past enemy air defenses. It also is useful for dropping mines in response to an enemy breakthrough, when there wouldn't be enough time to hand-lay minefields.
